Twenty Years of Skill in This Kick

"The tea isn't poisoned."

Shen Manni took a sip in front of Xu Mo.

"You know that's not what I meant."

Seeing Shen Manni drink, Xu Mo finally relaxed and took a sip as well.

Shen Manni shot him a glance. Did this guy have a persecution complex?

But whatever, it didn't matter anymore!

He could cook, wasn't too bad-looking, and most importantly, he didn't like going out to fool around.

All those past escapades?

They were just for show.

With all these great qualities combined, why bother looking for anyone else?

After a moment of silence, Xu Mo put down his teacup. "My purpose for coming here is pretty simple. I just want to clear up the past and put an end to it."

"When I pursued you, you didn't agree. No means no."

"So you're saying we owe each other nothing?"

Shen Manni suddenly looked up.

She had called her a fool so many times in her heart.

She couldn't just pretend she hadn't heard it!

Xu Mo nodded. "Yes, yes, yes."

"Ahem, I mean, that's right."

Being unreasonable?

Sorry, Shen Manni hadn't sunk to that level.

When she invited Xu Mo out, she had already thought about what would come next.

"Alright, it's time to say goodbye to the past."

"It's been a while since I last had your noodles. Could you come to my place tonight and make them for me one more time?"

"After tonight, you and I will have nothing to do with each other from now on."

Though Shen Manni's tone was calm, her heart was racing.

Being able to say these words was already her limit.

So embarrassing.

She swore she would never say something so shameful again in her life.

Xu Mo was stunned (°ー°〃).

[What the hell? Is this for real?]

[That fool, say what you will about her, but she's pretty good at keeping her word.]

[Gotta admit, the conditions she's offering are pretty tempting.]

[But still... why should I play along with your script?]

"Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining +1 stamina."

Xu Mo coughed and then spoke in a deep voice.

"Sorry, you'll have to ask someone else to do it."

o(* ̄︶ ̄*)o

[Heh... didn't see that coming, did you?]

[I'm not gonna be dumbed down.]

[Times have changed, old-timer.]

Shen Manni's body stiffened slightly.

She hadn't expected Xu Mo to say that at all!

What should she do now?

Shen Manni quickly tried to think of a solution.

Meanwhile, outside.

Zhou Qiaoqiao and An Youyi had also arrived at Shen Corporation.

But they were stopped at the entrance.

"What's the meaning of this?"

Zhou Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow.

Everyone working here knew who Zhou Qiaoqiao was.

It was like how even if you hadn't eaten pork, you'd seen a pig run.

The head of security, knowing better than to mess with this big shot, had already sent someone to inform Shen Cheng.

For now, all they could do was try to stall for time.

"Ms. Zhou, I'm sorry, but our CEO is currently meeting with a very important client and cannot be disturbed. Please wait until she's done."

"An important client? Is it Xu Mo?"

Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled confidently.

These women, one after another.

Still holding on to their hopes.

But she didn't mind too much.

Thinking about it the other way, if Xu Mo wasn't so charming, these women, with their sky-high standards, would never lower themselves to pursue him.

So, didn't that just prove her taste was impeccable?

The head of security forced a smile. "I wouldn't know about that."

As long as he claimed to have seen and heard nothing,

and stuck to his story,

even Zhou Qiaoqiao, with all her influence, couldn't possibly force her way past a group of burly men, right?

"So he is here."

Zhou Qiaoqiao said to herself.

Then she turned to An Youyi.

"Youyi, someone doesn't want us to go find Xu Mo. What should we do?"

Zhou Qiaoqiao mimicked Xu Mo's way of addressing her.

"Youyi" rolled off the tongue quite nicely.

And the other party didn't seem to mind.

An Youyi nodded.

"Sorry, ma'am, but you can't— AHHHHHH!"

Before the head of security could finish his sentence,

he was already on the ground, courtesy of An Youyi.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The other security guards were stunned for a moment,

then quickly sprang into action.

These were clearly bodyguards from a prominent family.

Their skills were nothing to scoff at.

The writhing head of security on the ground was a living testament to that.

Facing such opponents,

they couldn't afford to hold back.

Or show any sign of weakness.

After all, the other side didn't need them to go easy.

If anything, it was the other way around.

A few more screams followed.

Zhou Qiaoqiao took a step back to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

[This An Youyi is way more useful than the other female leads. I don't lack money, and my little wolf could use a personal bodyguard.]

[Her heart is completely set on the little wolf, which is a good thing.]

[It's too much trouble to always be on guard against outsiders. It's better to have someone on your side, someone you don't need to worry about.]

Zhou Qiaoqiao began to ponder.

Should she give An Youyi the chance to be the second to "taste the crab"?

It wouldn't be long now.

Once that happened, the other women would have to go through her.

And they'd have to watch her expression.

Such was the authority of the rightful wife.

"What's going on? What happened?"

A middle-aged man came rushing over.

The scene before him was a complete mess.

The Shen family's security team had been thoroughly beaten.

They were lying on the ground, curled up in pain.

Some were clutching their stomachs, others their necks, and some even their backsides.

It was a pitiful sight!

Their bones were twisted in ways that would make them perfect candidates for a reality show about transformations.

"Why are you two doing this? Why?"

Shen Cheng asked, forcing himself to stay calm.

The security team sent here was supposed to be the best they had.

Yet they had been completely thrashed.

Calling for reinforcements would just be sending more lambs to the slaughter.

Pointless.

Better to try and stall with words for now.

"Mr. Shen, you came at the right time. I'm here to find my husband, but they claimed they hadn't seen him. I was worried my husband might be at a disadvantage."

"In my panic, this happened."

Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled and shrugged.

The message was clear.

If you dare to stop us,

or call for more people,

their fate will be your lesson!

Shen Cheng sucked in a sharp breath. "Ahem... Xu Mo isn't here, I swear!"

"Ms. Zhou, when you were little, I even held you in my arms at the Zhou family estate."

Shen Cheng started playing the sentimental card, bringing up old memories.

Translation: The Zhou family can't handle this, so let my daughter have a go first.

Zhou Qiaoqiao arched an eyebrow. "Mr. Shen, Youyi doesn't know her own strength. We're just here to find someone. If you end up getting hurt, you might be stuck in the hospital for a long time."

Seemingly concerned,

but actually a threat!

Shen Cheng felt the full force of Zhou Qiaoqiao's malice!

He held out for less than half a second before giving in.

After all, An Youyi looked so innocent.

Who knew if she might accidentally kill someone?

Shen Cheng had seen it with his own eyes when he arrived.

The last security guard standing in front of the two women

had been kicked so hard by An Youyi that his bones made a cracking sound!

That kick had twenty years of power behind it!

Could anyone withstand it?

Hell no!!!!!!!!

Alright, alright, goodnight.
